Slip

I read a positive review in the Guardian and decided to watch it.

Shocked at how shallow and cliché it was, almost from the start. Nothing new, nothing special, all done before and to much better standards.

Towards the middle, it became clear, especially knowing that the writer is playing the main character, it's an exercise in self-indulgent writing and acting. Some scenes are cringe-worthy because of the basic script that's meant to sound deep on occasion, and the amateur acting.

Nothing memorable or redeemable; quickly becomes very predictable. I'm curious to know how this got funding and materialised into a seven-episode drama; but unfortunately fluff sells these days, more than ever.

Wondering if all the bad reviews are all people who don't actively listen to the people they are in relationships with.

We all have this piece in us, the "concept" is reality.

No explanations and no completed mind bends, but an opportunity to resonate was given in this show.

The things you "think you want", played out in a very clever full circle way.

Don't expect a thriller here friends...it's the beautiful simplicity of cause and effect and I really dug in.

I would watch more and recommend it to anyone.

It's not fluff, and if scenes make you cringe because it's human and real, you may want to look in the mirror too, just to find where you went.

To me this is one of those series to be watched on a certain mood, definitely not after coming from your lousy work that you don't like (if you're in that situation), or after coming from running when the brain is too alert. I watched all episodes late at night and enjoyed it very much, maybe because of the late night tranquility.

I didn't know the main actress and she impressed me a lot, on how natural and real her performance is, specially on the laughs. I think she is fantastic and will search more of her work.

The best things of this show is in the details. If you watch it for the general story that it is and expect a certain outcome, you might find that there is no sense of direction or that it didn't work... but if you just let it go with the flow, you will certainly find some gems regarding the psychology and behavior of the characters. I also loved the soundtrack, it makes the surreal moments funny and the happy moments really sweet.

I loved this, and Zoe Lister-Jones is great in anything she's in. The storyline was really interesting and I loved the moving through the different dimensions. I'm not really getting the negative reviews on this. It's something different, is easy viewing at half an hour, and only goes for seven episodes. I'd probably class it as humorous drama, rather than a comedy, though. So don't go into it thinking there'll be heaps of laughs.

The supporting cast were great too, except I think the husband was miscast - he seemed like an overgrown teenager, and the two of them married wasn't really believable for me.

Maybe if this had been a 90 minute movie it would have been effective, but as a 6 episodes series it completely wore out its welcome. The overall premise of slipping between different realities with different partners was intriguing, but after a while it didn't really feel like the alternate realities offered much of anything new to the character's journey. The first episode also painted the husband in such a negative light that it was hard to believe the main character would spend the entire series desperately trying to get back to him. Sure, "the grass is always greener" and maybe her life wasn't as bad as she originally thought, but her attempts to get back to her old life felt obligatory and inorganic--and the ambiguous ending definitely didn't help.
